Whats up with monitor on the wicker basket? is it a old one? Or some sort of special type monitor? looks kinda weird, and ab it bulky.

Yes it does look a little outsized like that.

When the monitor is flat on the desktop it is too hard for me to read the things on the bottom of the screen. my eyes are poor so elevating it makes things easier for me. I use the wicker basket because it works.

PS I built the desk and the companion piece which my stereo receiver sits on. The glass for the desk I got for free. It is 52"x28"x7/16"

radiused,beveled tempered glass.

I look after our datacenter and servers at work. I use the bottom two monitors to get my work done. Then use the top and side monitors for the datacenter and server monitoring data.

ah, cool, cool...

My greatly smiplified home office, the Studio Hybrid got dumped due to my exceedingly fickle nature...

I don't game on the PC anymore so it's more about media management and streaming to the 360 and PS3 and the ability to work from home now and then. This gear handles it all quite well.

Please tell me you are running some RAID redundancy, I don't know what's up with people these days. They are setting up multi-terabyte RAID-0 setups with no back up because that RAID array is the back up, I mean, wtf?

Are you talking to someone else? I do backup to external drives on a schedule, and across PCs every night, but I hardly need that kind of redundancy.

Not sure if this was aimed at me, or who you where talking too, but my setup is raid 5 w/ any important data backed up nightly to my server in an Atlanta datacenter and then data is also copied to one of 3x external hard drives. (1TB each)

    • Microsoft explains how it made Teams so much faster in 2026

      I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.

    • Phone Dilemma

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
